Obama Says Dems Need to Stop Being Buzzkills
On Pod Save America, Barack Obama said he likes to have fun, and sometimes, he said, Democrats are a buzzkill. He elaborated. “Sometimes people just want to not feel as if they are walking on eggshells, and they want some acknowledgment that life is messy and that all of us, at any given moment, can say things the wrong way, make mistakes. I think where we get into trouble sometimes is where we try to suggest that some groups are more – because they historically have been victimized more – that somehow they have a status that’s different than other people and we’re going around scolding folks if they don’t use exactly the right phrase. Or that identity politics becomes the principle lens through which we view our various political challenges.”
TLDR, Barack. Try being less of a buzzkill.

Fox Will Not Be Saying Anything Bad About Qatar During World Cup
Fox will be avoiding any shit talking of Qatar during their broadcast of the World Cup this year. So they’re gonna treat it like the Trump presidency. Got it.
Read more on Twitter.
World Cup broadcaster Fox Sports says it won't cover Qatar's migrant workers, LGBTQ concerns, etc. Not surprising given how much money Fox is making from state-owned sponsor Qatar Airways, but still embarrassing sportswashing. I wrote about it recently: https://t.co/qOxQu5MSwH pic.twitter.com/cKU2Zpxfqt

Sonny Vaccaro Thrilled Matt Damon Will Play Him in the Movie
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have teamed up to tell the story of Vaccaro and Phil Knight who together pursued Michael Jordan to sign a shoe deal with Nike in the 80s.
Too bad Matt thought he was playing Brenda Vaccaro.
Russ Crowe Says He Did Not Audition for My Best Friends Wedding
The RomCom’s director said Russell Crowe gave “one of the worst table reads I’ve ever experienced”. But Russell says that’s a bunch of crap because he never even auditioned for the movie .”I have never done a table read with the actress mentioned. Would be funny if it wasn’t so pointless.”
The only thing worse than not getting into My Best Friends Wedding would have been actually getting cast in My Best Friend’s Wedding.
Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson Honor Robbie Coltrane
Radcliffe said “Robbie was one of the funniest people I’ve met and used to keep us laughing constantly as kids on the set. I’ve especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on Prisoner Of Azkaban, when we were all hiding from the torrential rain for hours in Hagrid’s hut, and he was telling stories and cracking jokes to keep morale up. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to meet and work with him and very sad that he’s passed. He was an incredible actor and a lovely man.” Emma Watson said “Robbie was like the most fun uncle I’ve ever had, but most of all, he was deeply caring and compassionate towards me as a child and an adult. His talent was so immense that it made sense he played a giant—he could fill ANY space with his brilliance. Robbie, if I ever get to be so kind as you were to me on a film set I promise I’ll do it in your name and memory. Know how much I adore and admire you. I’ll really miss your sweetness, your nicknames, your warmth, your laughs, and your hugs. You made us a family. Know you were that to us.”
It’s hard to believe the three of them are the same age.
Beck Will Not Be Opening for Arcade Fire After All
The We tour was set to start later this month, and Beck was planning to be long for the ride, opening for Arcade Fire. But that’s off now, and there’s a good chance it has something to do with sexual misconduct allegations against Arcade Fire’s lead singer.
Great, now can someone explain why Beck is opening for anyone?
